I never got past the install process for OS/2, so I was never a user of it. 
But this is the only place I know of where there might actually be some OS/2
users.  That's why I posted it here.  Of course, the OS/2 users here prolly
already knew this, so they didn't need me to point it out to them :P

The whole OS/2 scenario reminds me a lot of the way things were before eSoft
finally announced that they were not going to continue with TBBS.
